It brings me great pleasure to present this award to a deserving public servant who has hit the ground running and whom I expect will continue to doing an outstanding job in the Tennessee House of Representatives,” said Will Denami, Executive Director of the Tennessee Association of Assessing Officers.

I feel like my role as a Representative is to make sure everyone is treated fairly and to help the people and businesses of Tennessee, in everyway I can.”
